My March stitch page was done in time. I did the last thing on March 31. After doing February as a Valentine’s theme I thought I would do March as a St Patrick’s Day theme. so having an odd sense of humour I decided on green threads on an orange background. I am not sure which side of that( orange or green) would care the most. but after looking at symbols for St Pat’s I decided to give up on that idea and look for other March symbols. March has a lot going on. This is where the quiz comes in. I am not going to tell you what each thing represents as we go. You have to guess at the end. I will make a bit of a break in the post and then put the answers and you can see how many you got right.
I don’t have as many progress pictures as I might as I do most of it out and about. I did start with a shamrock. They are quite easy as they are 3 harts and a stem.
Before I remembered to take a picture I also added this dagger. I knew I bought silvery thread for a reason other than it was pretty.
Then 2 more important days were added.
Then there is this one that is so important to remember for all our struggles past and future. With a nod to my LBGTQ friends
This last symbol is for some great kids I drive to school. It didn’t turn out quite as I wanted but it was a new stitch for me.
The last thing is not a symbol. It was just a flower that popped up in my FB news feed and I decided to try it. It was easy and effective.
Here is the whole thing, followed by a numbered picture for your guesses.
